AD Partners with Case for Smiles in Giving Back Event

July 22, 2024

Wayne, Pa. - On June 12th, AD associates from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico came together for a heartwarming Giving Back event. They supported Case for Smiles, a volunteer organization dedicated to uplifting young patients and their families in hospitals worldwide by donating whimsical pillowcases, coping boxes with helpful activities for siblings, sharing relevant resources, and more.

Case for Smiles brought over 35 volunteers at AD Wayne to facilitate this incredible event. Associates pinned and sewed over 160 pillowcases and made over 160 coping boxes. Each box is filled with toys, games, and resources to help families through this challenging time. 

AD presented Case for Smiles representatives with a generous check for over $15,000, which was fundraised and donated by AD associates. This contribution underscores AD's profound commitment to giving back.
